I also wonder if pedestrian traffic is allowed from the port to the mainland?

The first time we arrived in Miami we couldn't get a cab, not pushy enough at the time, we ended up walking from the port to the shopping mall across the bridge where Hard Rock Cafe is. We did get some strange looks from passing drivers. It took us about 40 mins to complete the walk, and OMG was it hot!
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone in June.
We hailed a cab on the way back it only cost us about $20, if a remember correctly.
